Licensed Psychologist

Within the safety and connection of the therapeutic relationship, your challenges and ineffective ways of being will become clearer to you. I will help you uncover what drives and motivates you in a manner that allows you to meaningfully connect to your areas of strength. I will help you to actively solve your own problems and redirect your life. We will work together to set strengths-based goals, which will help you to make permanent the changes you want in your life. You will rid yourself of the old patterns of negative, self-defeating thoughts, painful emotions, and ineffective behavior. You will feel more optimistic about the future and more successful in your life.

Walter Masterson, LCSW

Psychotherapy and Counseling

One of the most life altering actions when seeking to gain traction in the struggle to live a satisfying life is the choice to work with a therapist. It signaled a ground-breaking change in our approach to meeting the challenges we faced; demonstrating a shift that embraced the possibility of tapping into knowledge and support outside our own skull.
Most of us have a better ability to see and understand the actions and motivation of others than our own. We all have personal blind spots. This is evident early in therapy, when one experiences striking progress as a result of new insights gained in therapy.

Dustin Kahoud, Psy.D., CASAC

Licensed Clinical Psychologist

The decision to begin psychotherapy can be life-changing. I work to guide clients towards achieving their personal goals and reaching their potential by helping them to discover new, creative responses to life's inevitable stressors. I believe that a safe, nonjudgmental space is essential for allowing one to feel free enough to work on problems they are facing. Together, we will work toward shining light over pathways that lead to enriching new experiences, more meaningful relationships and deeper overall satisfaction. I treat adults, adolescents, and couples, using an integrative approach that combines psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapies, tailoring treatment to each individual.

Lisa Lempel-Sander, LPsyA

Licensed Psychoanalyst

Psychotherapy focuses on all of you: you and your relationship. It looks to understand who you are and how your partnership or marriage works, both practically, as well as deeply and even unconsciously. Psychotherapy offers you and your marriage the chance to get out from under the unconscious baggage that can destroy relationships and make you unhappy, anxious, and depressed. And, psychotherapy, more so than any other treatment modality, offers lasting relief from emotional pain and from the cycle of dysfunction that traps us and prevents us from living a satisfying life.

John Kukor, Ed.D.

Psychotherapist

Getting into psychotherapy is a courageous act. Most people would solve their problems themselves if they could, but life can be complicated and daunting. It takes courage to find someone you can really trust -- someone with a sharp mind and compassionate heart who will treat you with respect, who will listen carefully and objectively. I am honored to invite clients into the healing process of psychotherapy. There will be lots of listening, lots of questions to make you think and, perhaps, to see your life from a new angle, and a suggestion or two of new options that you might not have considered.

Meredith Silversmith, MA, LMFT

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

When we experience chronic conflict in our romantic relationships, it can significantly impact our quality of life. Sometimes, one partner is ready to seek professional help and the other is not. Meredith provides psychotherapy to these individuals, while working towards getting their partner on board with participating in therapy. She offers emotional support to the partner seeking help, consultation to the partner not yet comfortable attending, and teaches strategies for effective conflict resolution.

Marc Shulman, Psy.D.

Clinical Psychologist

My approach to psychotherapy integrates several different theoretical orientations. This includes cognitive behavioral, experiential, positive psychology, family systems, and psychodynamic therapies. Therefore treatment with me will likely involve both a detailed exploration of your background and at the same time provide practical solution oriented interventions. By developing a comprehensive understanding of your unique personality I can determine which combination of approaches is most appropriate for you at different points throughout your treatment to most effectively assist you.
